Formerly known as Minerva, Emily Beecham's character earned this name following the death of her abusive husband - we're told at her hands. In the wake of her "loss," The Widow has recruited and mothered a group of "butterflies," trained female assassins every part as deadly as the clippers.

Fans of "Person of Interest" have waited almost a full year to see what follows the season finale - and what will become of the watchdogs, who, for four seasons, have used a set of computer-generated numbers to watch over the just and unjust (protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty).

From her blind audition, when three chairs turned, Hannah Huston has earned rave reviews for her performances (including covers of Allen Stone's "Unaware" and Sia's "Elastic Heart"), while also charting on iTunes.

At the conclusion of Monday's episode of "The Voice," coach Adam Levine said Alisan Porter is "the Jordan Smith of this season." He likened the former actor and "Curly Sue" star to the season nine champion, whose high notes made him the frontrunner from his blind audition through the finale.

Alisan Porter began acting in commercials at the age of 3. By 5, she was on "Star Search." At 8, she starred in the John Hughes film "Parenthood." The next year, she played the title character in "Curly Sue."

On the back end of "Grimm's" fourth season last year, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) turned into a Hexenbiest - nasty and super-powerful - betrayed Nick's mother and then tried to kill Nick - before taking a double-dose of crossbow courtesy of Trubel.

Once again, it's up to a stylish British actor to save the world. This time, however, it isn't Daniel Craig's James Bond fighting off Spectre, but rather David Harewood's J'onn J'onzz shielding the populace from White Martians.

Actress Jacqueline Toboni said fans are about to learn why her character, our favorite female Grimm, was taken; why she was kidnapped and then half-dead when she found Nick last episode; and what's up with her fancier clothes and souped-up ride.

On "Heroes Reborn," Judi Shekoni's character, Joanne, has horrifically lost her son - she believes to "evos," or evolved humans - and she's not in a good place. When the series begins, the former housewife is on a particular quest.

"Dancing with the Stars" was designed to shine a spotlight on celebrities - for better or worse - trying their hand at ballroom dancing. But pro Sharna Burgess said the hit ABC series has done much more than that since debuting a decade ago.

While M. Night Shyamalan's stories are varied - from a boy who sees dead people ("The Sixth Sense") to a faux superhero ("Unbreakable"), a mysterious, sheltered community ("The Village") to a far-off sci-fi future filled with "Abbies" ("Wayward Pines") - there is one big constant: At some point, each tale will have a shocking twist.

Tens of thousands of sci-fi, fantasy, cosplay, comic book and wrestling fans are descending upon the Scotiabank Convention Center in Ontario this weekend for the fifth annual Niagara Falls Comic Con. More than 200,000 square feet has been filled with rows of merchandise, props, movie and television replicas.

Though "Grimm" could technically be classified as a procedural (albeit one with big mythological weapons and even bigger, monstrous bad guys), Reggie Lee said the show has one big advantage over "bad guy of the week" crime-fighting series.

Syfy's "12 Monkeys" bounces back and forth between decades with reckless abandonment - rewriting the storyline over and over again in the process. Such plot twists make it impossible to predict what will happen next, thereby making the show hard to miss.

Fans of "The Voice" met Sawyer Fredericks Monday. The 15-year-old Fultonville singer closed the season eight premiere with a cover of the American folk song "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow." His four-chair-turn performance was previewed on "Today" and online.

In the spirit of Bob Hope, the WWE has staged a holiday program for U.S. troops for more than a decade. The WWE's "Tribute to the Troops" airs tonight at 8 p.m. on the USA Network, and again Saturday on NBC.

Ian Ziering and Vivica A. Fox, stars of Syfy's "Sharknado 2: The Second One," will compete in Donald Trump's reality series "The Celebrity Apprentice," tackling various challenges and raising money for charity.

Not everyone on "Grimm" was excited to learn Monroe, a Blutbad, was marrying Rosalee, a Fuchsbau. Some members of the Wesen community were offended by this interspecies relationship and intend to make trouble for the newlyweds.

In just three years, Max Charles has appeared in the Sony action blockbuster "The Amazing Spider-Man," lived next door to aliens on ABC's "The Neighbors," voiced Sherman in the DreamWorks animated film "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," and shared the screen with John Constantine in NBC's new Friday night sci-fi series.
